My plan is to do the ladies market motzai shabbos
But since I'm doing SZ on Sunday I thought to go to Macau instead, although only thing that interests me in the bungee jumping I won't have enough time for that. So was asking if it's worth a trip just to see the city..

If you really want to enjoy Macau you need to spare a full day for that.

didn't have a full day to spare. Ended up just doing the night market last night and Shenzhen this morning. Huge shout-out to davidmal for all his detailed help!

Btw the chabbad rabbi is leaving HK and setting up shop in Kafrisin.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, Yangshuo. Where are the best markets? I know of Silk Market in Beijing, which others are good? My wife will be looking for good quality high end name brand imitations.

Before him there was a DDFer who was the shliach in Kowloon. Now he's a shliach in Taipei.

you and many others!They only recently got their own place, he himself put in a nice amount of $$$ to renovate and is now stuck with the all those expenses which I'm sure he would've covered had he been staying there.
He really is special, I'm sure iyh he will do well there too. Hopefully his children will get a good education given they will be closer to Israel.

Beijing is the most organized and therefore the cheapest prices

Then Shanghai
Then Shenzhen
Then Guangzhou
Then Hangzhou

As for quality everyone will tell you they have the best

You be the judge.

But I would say quality is in Shenzhen.
